Welcome to the internet home of Kent Kite Flyers, the only general kite flying club in Kent. On this site you will find lots of information about kite flying in general, and Kent Kite Flyers in particular. If you are interested in coming along and giving kite flying a go, why not check out our forum to find out where we are flying. Introduce yourself on the forum or you can just come along. We're a pretty relaxed bunch and will try to make you welcome. Please don't feel shy or inhibited. Even if you have absolutely no experience of flying, we'll try to get you going, and even if you don't have a kite, we can usually find one to let you borrow.

Kent Kite Flyers are affiliated with the British Kite Flying Association

COVID19 and kite flying

 

We are still living under a lockdown. We are not allowed to travel any great distance to participate in exercise, nor are we allowed to meet others to exercise with. All this makes group meetings for kite flying impossible to organise, even if we do "socially distance". Some members are able to fly locally as individuals. Current thinking is that rules will be relaxed a little in early April, which may give us th eopportunity to meet again. We will have to follow the guidelines carefully. Whatever you are doing, please stay safe and well, and we hope to see you soon.

We fly all over Kent, and into Sussex, and occasionally cross the channel into France. We no longer have a permanent home, so we tend to fly wherever the spirit moves us. Weather permitting we try to fly every weekend throughout the year, unless attending an event somewhere. We usually discuss our next location on our discussion forum. So if you want an early insight into where we expect to be, or even to suggest somewhere for us to fly, why not pop over there. Alternatively, keep an eye on the upcoming events listed below, our webmaster tries to post the venue of the next club fly-in as soon as we have reached an agreement.

We are more than happy to come along to village fetes, school fetes, private events and the like to run kite making workshops, fly kites of all shapes and sizes, parachute teddy bears for children, etc. For more information contact our events co-ordinator
